I think the Sabre is an interesting jet.

Don,
This reminds me of those movies where one discovers that a graceful and powerful soldier is in fact a cyborg! Here we see mundane looking plumbing pipes inside a most fabulous and agile bird of prey!
I am just as taken back that this is not built by magic or Mother Nature, but by clever engineers!

Question: do you have shots with more space on the right for the jet to fly into? Just wondering.

Hi, Asher,
Or, by "Mother Nature" through "her" creation, clever engineers.
Best regards,

I like the space allocated for the plane to fly into!
This is one of the most successful warplanes ever built. Not only did it serve well to provide 10:1 kill ratios to the N Korean MIG fighter planes, but eventually a smuggled clutch of a Canadian derivative, no longer needed by the Luftwaffee, (became sold via Iran, sent for "servicing" in Pakistan but never returned), and formed the main defense against a numerically superior iIndian Airforce in their last two wars!
This is a very well proven plane!

Thanks, Asher and I enjoyed seeing the impressive jet.

I think about 6,000 of these were made by Boeing! The Canadian version seems very popular.
There's a plane that could be a fierce opponent, 'cause it was so small it came up on the Pakistanis before they noticed the Indian Airforce Gnat!
